Oh dear. Now I feel like I was worrying a bit too much, especially about my character's name. ^^' I do remember reading some of Sounsyy's lore posts, but somehow I either missed or already forgot about e.g. the Ala Mhigo racial distribution. Thanks a lot for all the answers: I'm glad and relieved to see that the community seems to be both helpful and accepting of silly newbies like me.
After some more pondering, I think that I will make Cain a native Ul'dahn (spelling?). Sounsyy's lore compilation mentions that quite a few poor folk come to the Arrzaneth Ossuary to worship Thal, which could explain how Cain ended up becoming a Thaumaturge. His parents might have been worshippers of Nald'thal as well, and after their death/disappearance and some time living on the streets, it wouldn't much of a stretch to say that Cain found his way to the Ossuary.
I like this idea a lot, too. It would definitely justify Cain's job of choice, especially combined with the backstory idea above. His birthday also happens to in Fifth Umbral Moon, which makes Nald'thal his patron deity; even more of a reason to say that he was destinied to join the Order of Nald'thal and become a Thaumaturge? Perhaps, heh.
